Does anyone know of any reliable data sources that show Covid deaths by age group?
I have been trying to debunk this ridiculous idea that Omicron is a serious threat to everybody. I know this cannot possibly be true, since all strains so far have followed the familiar pattern of being more impactful to the eldest and most vulnerable than to young people by thousands of orders of magnitude, but the media spinners and propagandists are trying to scare us once again by creating an illusion that we're all in danger and must cower away from society and obey our superiors.
If anyone knows of any reliable, up-to-date information source that demonstrates this not to be true, this would be incredibly useful tool to combat the flood of propaganda with some rational, down-to-earth statistics.
yes, the ONS website has an excel doc with exactly what you want...
Also here it is...for 2021
here is is for 2020....
on a related note...
Covid was in China, and hence, due to widescale international travel, likely in much of the rest of the world, from at least Dec 2019 onwards...at the very least...probably well before that. However, UK excess death rate from Dec 2019 to March 2020 was lower than 5 year average. This shows that Covid is not a harmful virus.
UK excess death rate moved above the 5 year average after the lockdown began in March 2020...this shows that the lockdown was the cause of those excess deaths.
Its known that over-use of ventilators on elderly patients was responsible for many of them dying. They were getting treated with a ventilator for covid, even though they had other conditions which demanded treatment more.
Also, in the UK NHS, when a patient had covid, they would close down the hospital beds either side of that bed for deep cleaning..this resulted in a massive shortage of beds in the NHS during covid...which in turn resulted in deaths.
Also, London is more densely populated than the rest of UK, has the Tube train system, where, even if you are wearing a mask, you are crammed in with people and unavoidably inhaling their lung air. So why has London's coronavirus death rate not always been higher than the rest of the country?
There is a virus called covid, but it is no more harmful than any flu, and should never have been used to bring lockdowns, and never had 250 billion of UK money spent on it.
Also, the UK death rate over 2019 to 2021 is less than it was back in 2003 and and before then...so how can they say covid is dangerous?
Why is this happening, and why are the above solid facts are being ignored?
